Robocop Augmented

While everyone was expecting a sequel to Deus Ex 2 Invisible War, Eidos choose a different path, a more yellow-ish path.

Human Revolution is a prequel to the original Deus Ex. You are Adam Jensen, Chief of Security for Sarif Industries, one of the companies that manufacture and sell bionic limbs and augmentations. But one day, the company HQ is attacked and you are left for dead.
Your are saved by Sarif's scientists who made you a cyborg. Your job now, is to find who attack the company and why.

Deus Ex Human Revolution is not your typical First Person Shooter. On the contrary, it's possible to complete the game without killing anyone. That's the game's first quality : choice. Each mission, each quest, was designed to let the player makes his own decisions. Will he infiltrate the compound without killing anyone, will he negociate with the NPC or will he storm inside with brute force, all is possible. It's up to the player to choose how he wants to play the game.

To help the player in his decisions, the game allows Adam to install new augmentations, new "powers" that upgrade its possibilities.

So basically, Deux Ex HR is both a good Action game and a good Stealth game. The story is excellent and the artstyle and music offer an thrilling cyberpunk atmosphere.
In this Director's Cut edition, the DLC are included and the boss fights have been revamped for a better experience.
The only remaining issue is the ending (The choices are too simplistic).

Deus Ex Human Revolution is a must have.

Looks better than it plays, but still plays well

Deus Ex is a gem to look at. The art design, the colors, everything is gorgeous. The gameplay, however, lags behind the art, but not by much.

In Deus Ex, you play a cyborg working for an company that was recently attacked, and you want to know who and why. As with most games that take place in a futuristic setting where cyborgs are common, motives and characters are not as they seem, While the story is very well done, many philosophical questions surrounding the aspect of coming a cyborg within the game are more or less the same ones you find in titles with similar settings, such as Ghost in the Shell.

The game takes a first person perspective, but how you go about tackling objectives is up to you. You can go in guns blazing to an enemy stronghold, or you can sneak around, taking enemies out from the shadows, or go completely stealth and nobody will ever know you were even there. Different skills, upgrades, and abilities will help you more than others in certain situations, but some, like hacking, are universally required throughout all playstyles, especially if you wish to read more into the people whose computers you are hacking or take their money for more upgrades. However, whatever playstyle you wish to use, you need to be sure you actually know how to play that way, as there is little to no handholding in the game, and it is easy to mess up.

Deus Ex has beautiful visuals and an array of choices that rivals most other open world RPGs. Just be sure to remember what kind of game you are playing.

Now those are choices

I've played a lot of games...A lot..and I'll be straight up honest with you...I'm not really one for sci-fi type games... But, as me and a friend usually get and play games together, I decided on this one...and I found myself surprisingly pleased...Not about the choices in the games dialogue like most games ( Mass Effect) that don't really seem to carry any actual weight, but how you play the game. You have so many options of what you can do....You can kill enemies, or knock them out..You can disable turrets, destroy them, or sneak passed them.

The game is all about carving your own path. Not only do your upgraded skills improve your abilities, but they also add options about how to go about things...You can get skills that let you fall from great heights, break through walls, hack through more difficult doors. This felt rather unique and I honestly haven't played a game like it up until I found Dishonored....The game can be a little slow at times, but it does have diverse areas, good voice acting, and an interesting story. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes games like Dragon's Age, Mass Effect, etc.

A game all about choices

Deus Ex Human revolution is a game that doesn't follow the rules of modern gaming.
As gamers know,today games tend to be long corridors that lead to your objective.Deus Ex does exactly the opposite of that.

In this game you play as Adam Jensen,chief of security at Sarif Industries.After a terrorist attack Adam finds himself augmented and looking for answers about the attack.The story poses many interesting questions about what defines a human being and how science can shape human kind.
In particular the dichotomy between augmentations supporters and human purists is well outlined and deep.To this elements we must add conspiracy theories,hidden plots and manipulation of the public opinion.

The real star of the game is its gameplay.How will you reach your objective?Take the main path and kill everyone?Use a vent and take the stealthy approach?
Deus Ex does an exellent job of giving you the instruments to reach your goal however you like.In particular you can shape Adam as you please,for example choosing to spend all your upgrade points on stealth abilities.
The mantra here is "Play the way you want".

The art style is a mix of futuristic neons and renaissance fashion.You play in a new golden age of humanity and your surroundings certainly show this.

This game is an instant classic,just like the original Deus Ex.It is a game that will be remembered in the years to come.

Director's Cut: Just Another Edition

"Deus Ex: Human Revolution" was a real surprise for me, the game starts a little slow but then a major event happens and all hell breaks loose. The story is amazing, the missions are also part of this main story, and the way you can play the game is up to you according to your way and "mood". And depending of that, people will react to you or you will see some differences on each missions. The graphics are also very nice and the music is amazing, it nails the atmosphere of the game. The maps are very big, but not "open world", but as how you like to play you will find some secret areas or many ways to avoid direct contact with your enemies. The game is also very long, for completionists it should take at least 50 hours. For me, the game (excluding "The Missing Link" expansion) lasted 57 hours, and "The Missing Link" alone lasted 9 hours. The game also has gamepad support.

Now, this "Director's Cut" edition has some minor differences with the original base game: Includes all the DLCs (mostly new items and a bonus rescue mission) and "The Missing Link" expansion, all fused in the new edition as if they were part of the game. But this version also includes modified "boss levels" for people who like to play stealthy and want to avoid direct contact at all cost, although in the original those were never actually hard, because the bosses weren't difficult in the first place. The graphics also received a minor tweaking, some few textures were replaced by some others with more detail and some of the effects (the most notorious: the "gold" effect) has been minimized. The rest is practically the same. This edition also includes some bonus material, like the making-of videos and trailers, but it's missing others found in the previous "Augmented Edition", like the special (and amazing) game soundtrack and the motion comic. This edition also has some bugs and glitches that were fixed in the original edition but some some reason, they are here again, which is a shame.

Comparing this edition with the original, I honestly have to say, the original was much better, especially comparing it with the "Ultimate Edition", which I also have and love much more. That edition included the "Augmented Edition" plus all the DLCs and "The Missing Link" expansion, was more stable with already fixed bugs long ago, and looked better. If I were reviewing that edition it would have received a 95/100 from me. This new edition instead is getting an 85 from me. It almost impossible now, but if you have the chance, buy the "Ultimate Edition" instead, but this version is still a very enjoyable experience and a highly recommended game to buy if you still don't have it yet.

Beautiful.

Just beautiful. This game has one of the best stories ever! you play as an agent of a mega-corporation that with a lot of weapons and cyber-implants must look for a group of scientists that disappeared some time ago...

But while you are looking for those scientists you will be stuck in a global conspiracy that will decide the future of the humanity...

When i finished this game i was really suprised, i never thought that it will have four amazing endings, you have the future of the humanity on your hands, you must decide what could be better for the earth, you are "Deus Ex Machina"...

Oh right, i almost forgot to talk about the gameplay... well, you have a lot of ways to finish a level, being aggressive or being a ninja without killing anyone (yes, you can finish this game without killing anyone except the bosses)

Adam "Fisher" Jensen

Well, not much can be said about this game that haven't been told already, what's more, this game speak for itself by bringing very large quality. You don't like fpp camera style? You preffer more action then stealth, you don't have much patience? Don't worry, you can enjoy deus ex human revolution anyway cause the plot and entire storyline will pull you in front of a desktop immediately and make you stuck completely for hours to this futuristic brilliant cyberpunk universe. You will just adapt to this game style, it can't be just easily explained. I compared this game always to batman arkham series and star wars kotor... You'll ask why... You can hate star wars and batman but fall in love with arkham and kotor thanks to extraordinary plot and perfect storyline, that's about it I guess, if you haven't played Deus ex then... Change it... instantly please, enjoy

Human Revolution as it should be

Exactly - the game feels now as it should from the very beginning. There is one major improvement I consider a pivotal point for playing Director's Cut instead of the initial release of this game. Finally you don't have to fight every boss in a typical shooter manner - which forced you to build your character, chose implants and stuff to be able to survive open engagement. Now you can find a stealth approach which utilizes your hacking and stealth skills. At last it is valid to make a character that fully relies on his hacking skills and not another Terminator.

Another great thing - merged Missing Link DLC. And merged flawlessly and seamlessly, as ones who played base release of Deus Ex Human Revolution, know that you had to play Missing Link at a certain point in the story, or it became invalid and outright nonsensical to play.

As for graphics - the devs removed golden filter from the screen. Some people did't like it. I did, so it feels a bit awkward to me. As for other stuff - weapons are somewhat smaller and their placement in Jensen's hands is different.

All things considered, apart from my minor rant, I consider this game the proper Deus Ex. And it will be a great experience for fans and new players who want to know Deus Ex alike. 90/100 and vision augmentation implant!

The bionic man meets revenge

A game combining the basic elements of a rpg upgrades,skills and the various fps elements of a shooter. decent A decent script for the AI along with improved graphics from the original marks the game as its own little genre with the added bonus of stealth.

85

Great FPS with RPG system

The most immersive action RPG ever just got better. I love all of the improvements of the Director's Cut. I was extremely pleasantly surprised with the new options they have added to beat the boss fights. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Developer Commentary and it provided a lot of insights that I never knew about the game. But the biggest and most noticeable change is actually having two beautiful energy bars that automatically refill to play with. Makes everything so much easier. The "golden haze" effect will be missed, however, but the game still looks great, almost remastered even. The cutscenes just now feel a bit out of place compared to the rest of the game.

If you haven't finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution yet, get this and do it now. There's no reason not to because you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended.

Really is a must play

I picked Deus Ex up during the "top 50 must play" sale to see if was deserving of its spot on the list. At first I wasn't really moved by the voice actor for Adam Jensen - he sounded like batman with a cold. But after the first mission, I was hooked!

Deus ex provides a good mix between a shooter and RPG. The player can blast either through enemies with guns, hands and augments OR take on a stealthy espionage approach. The beauty of it is that each approach yields different results.

Main story is somewhat expected, but what excels are the side quests. These are not the mindless "fetch" quests, each side quest introduces the player to some NPC that actually has a story and motive. Some of them even helps/deters the main story.

Without taking up more writing space. I have to say that it really deserves its spot in the top 50 must play list.

Gold game.

And by gold game I mean that literally. It's beautiful color that fits great to cyberpunk game. Every step you make in this game, no matter where you look around, you see how developed technology is in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. What made me fall in love with this game? Starting from great atmosphere - it doesn't have just a few things that would make this game labelled as "cyberpunk" one, but the world in this game is very well made. Next thing is greatly interaction with characters - it's not only boring talks, but what you say to the person you are talking with will lead you to other outcomes. Another thing is that you can play however you like to - you don't even need to fight anyone (except boss fights) if you don't want to, there is also special achievement for doing that. Sound crazy, but it can be done. Sometimes trying to bypass your foes is easier then fighting them. Difficult level, even played on lowest setting, is still kinda hard. You are not invincible, few shots, or a good one in head, will make you start from last checkpoint. Story and music are also great. In my opinion, it's a title that everyone should play. Never played Deus Ex? Don't worry, it's a prequel to the other 2 main games. Director's Cut edition comes with DLC and additional commentary from developers, available when you are playing. It's a great deal for an amazing game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Perfect stealth game.

pros:
+ The story raises many adult themes, and the final movie definitely force to reflect
+ Style game allows to immerse your head in the game, everything worked out to the smallest detail around from conventional diaries and room facilities, explore the world of really interesting
+ Large branched levels, there are always several ways to get to the goal
+ The game does not dictate the style of passing, we can do whatever you like, it all depends on the preference of the player
+ Chic atmospheric soundtrack

cons:
- Outdated graphics part of the game

Deus Ex: Human Revolution adult clever game in the style of cyberpunk, with more detailed world, with different possibilities of action, with the dialogue, some of which are similar to the present psychological testing and many, many others. Effect of immersion is so strong that at some point you might think, and that if we are waiting for a future with all these implants and their problems? Who knows ...

91

One of my favorite games.

I don't know what it is about this game, perhaps the overall feel of it, but I just keep coming back to it. I originally played it on my friends computer, and now I've bought it for myself. Definitely worth it.

86

RPG elements + FPS = great game

This is by far one of my favorite games released in the last years.
Deus Ex : Human Revolution provides a great play time thanks to its almost unique, individual mechanics, which allow you to hack different kinds of places and objects. That being added some cool RPG elements such as a skill tree and various options to upgrade the main character, this title definitely has its place in the market and deserves as well the words of praise.

95

Good Game

Deus Ex Human Revolution is mix of first and third-person shooter. You're ex-SWAT member who is now bodyguard of scientists and there company secrets. But they are killed your world change. You are in a time with great technological advancement. With the many guns in the game there is great amount of upgrades, some abilities and combat skills. Choose to kill all your foes or sneak behind them and leaf no traces. There are some bosses weak and strong. The game proceed the way you play it.
The game is really good pick it up on sale if possible.

Dark. Fun. Immersive.

Deus Ex creates a complex and unique futuristic world with a fantastic story arch. Not being familiar with the franchise, I dove in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised and happy with the game. The story RPG elements are fun, the world gritty and engaging, and the mix of stealth and action gameplay gives great variety. Overall the game was a smooth ride. I definitely suggest giving it a go.

91

Atmosferic and Inmersive

This game is almost perfect, is the prequel of the great deux ex, a stealth/rpg game, this game is kinda hard, but nothing too hard if you play it stealthy.

The good:

+It had a great story, hell yes is cool and interesting, this game talk about the meaning of being human, cool stuff.

+Smoth gameplay, great cover mechanics, sweet dialogo threes, an awesome skill three and you can modified your weapons.

+Interesting sidequest, doit all you can change the game for good or bad if you decide to do something "different" on a side quest. awesome!

+An detailed world and it reward exploration and experimentation, is not a sandbox game like TES games or Fallout, but is still fun looking for cool gear and things to hack and reading "books" on this game is cool.

The bad:

-Generic boss battles.

-The main character is to flat in comparison with the world.

-Lip animation desync.

For me is a must buy if you like games with great story and with lots of things to explore.

Can't Even Play :(

So I didn't really even get to play the game because this game's got head bobbing. I find that it makes me dizzy/nauseous and I'm sure there are plenty of other people out there with my problem because you can see on forums people complaining about it.

What aggravates me is that they haven't fixed it. I don't see why there shouldn't be an option to turn the head bobbing off. I'm not even sure why developers these days are so intent on making the head bob effect. Its not like we walk around seeing our world go up and down. Either way no way to turn it off so I can play five minutes at a time before succumbing and giving up. If your like me save your money and yourself some dizzying and don't buy the game.

90

An Underrated Game

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an extremely good game in my opinion. In this game, you could do basically anything. Blow up a car, hide a body, the typical open-world stuff. The depth of the systems implemented in this game is surprising deep especially the stealth system which is done pretty well. Graphics are pretty good with impressive lighting. The story is a bit corny at times but still pretty good at best. Overall I would recommend this game. RPG + Action + Open-World = Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Recommended.

93

Return to Deus Ex Form

After Invisible War dragged the Deus Ex name through the mud, Human Revolution brings the series back up to its very high standards. You have multiple ways to go through each mission, and multiple ways to build your character. While there isn't as much freedom as the original Deus Ex, Human Revolution is still an impressive game. The graphics are quite good, and the music is fantastic. The FPS and RPG elements are balanced well, and the game as a whole is a rewarding experience. Definitely pick this game up if you haven't already.

enjoyed

i adore the Deus Ex games, even the one whose name should not be mentioned.
i am happy to say this is a great follow up to the gaming series. like most hardcore fans of the game there’s only one real way to play, and that’s a no kills play through. *i personally up the difficulty to the highest setting because i am actively avoiding confrontation.
this is the Directors Cut version of the game, looks great and can be played on Windows or OS X. i mentioned playing a non lethal play through. with the original you weren't able to beat the boss fights without fighting. the first boss you could by throwing things at him and shocking him repeatedly with your stun gun, only for a cut scene showing him riddle with bullet holes.. not good.
with this version they have “fixed” the boss fights. there’s now an alternative way to beat each boss.
the game plays nice, looks nice, sounds nice. the visuals are great but the music in the game really impressed me. i’ve played the game many times so for me i wanted to play through again hearing some of the games documentary commentary from the people who made the game. there’s also improved textures which is also great for us PC owners, but the best part is the new game + mode in which all your augmentations carry over. so perhaps you weren’t too confident to stealth your way through the game the first time, playing through again with all your augments at the start is at least worth a try.

caveat emptor (buyer beware): as much as i like the Deus Ex games, specially this one. i would rather play the original non directors cut version of the game. Steam no longer sells it but GMG still does. it’s just the little differences, the Gold/Yellow tint to everything is now gone. i liked that, i liked how the people looked, how the cities looked. the textures are “better” but i would rather the feel of the original.
